A retreat seemed in order, so Almanzo and Laura packed their few belongings and set off with Rose for his parents’ farm in Spring Valley, Minnesota, to recuperate body and spirit. During this brief interlude, they considered emigrating to New Zealand, a farther shore—they had some experience raising sheep after all—but soon another opportunity arose.

Peter Ingalls, Laura’s cousin who had shared their sheep venture in De Smet, had made a homestead claim in Westville on Florida’s narrow panhandle, a stone’s throw from the Alabama state line. Peter could use some extra hands to work his claim. It seemed just the ticket as the cold—never Almanzo’s preference—had become intolerable since his lameness had come on. So the family trio headed south.
